Two shot, one detained in Fairfield shooting investigation

Two people were injured on Thursday afternoon in a shooting that Fairfield police continue to investigate.

According to investigators, the two victims, both males, were shot just after 2 p.m. in the 1100 block of Tabor Ave. near Bristol Lane.

Arriving officers found the first victim with a gunshot wound under a bus stop shelter on Tabor Avenue. He was taken to an area hospital where officials said he is in critical condition. The second person walked into NorthBay Medical Center with a gunshot wound and is now listed as "stable." One gun was recovered from the scene of the shooting, police said.

Shortly after the incident, police detained one juvenile who was driving a Nissan SUV that matched a description of a vehicle seen leaving the scene on Tabor Ave. The car was spotted and followed by Fairfield Police who, with the assistance of Vacaville Police, stopped and detained the driver on Peabody Road across the street from California State Prison Solano. Police did not say the extent of the juvenile's involvement in the incident and it was not clear if the person is a suspect or a victim, according to Lt. Kevin Carella.

Tabor Avenue was closed for several hours after the shooting and re-opened in the evening as police investigated the shooting.

The incident has not been called gang-related, said police.

Still, it adds to a number of recent shootings in Fairfield. Five people have been shot and injured in the last two weeks in the city.

Last Friday, two men were shot at approximately 8:45 p.m. on the 1100 block of Dana Drive. The men walked to NorthBay Medical Center following the shooting and were treated for gunshot wounds.

Earlier this month, on Aug. 15, three people were shot shortly after 8:30 p.m. on the 1800 block of San Jose Court. Two of the victims arrived at NorthBay Medical Center. The third victim was transported from Travis Boulevard and Union Avenue where police stopped a car after the shooting.
